15 Waiting for notification and summary
The closed door opened, and the young man in the white shirt walked out in a daze, and closed the door casually, and he could still see two figures talking quietly in the room.
What are they talking about?
Charles couldn't hear it, but he was desperate to hear it.
Because that's your own destiny.
"Looks like you're doing pretty well." The fluttering words came from not far away, and Charles looked up to see that it was Elliot in a white dress.
"You're cool in this dress." Charles replied absentmindedly.
"The tailor shops under the church are uniformly customized and distributed." Elliot said lightly, and then said, "Come with me, I'll be responsible for sending you back." β
"Do I still need to be watched?"
"That's not true, it's just that there are some places in this church that people can't enter casually, and the monks are afraid that you will walk around."
"Okay." Charles nodded, silently following him.
The two then walked out. After a while, Charles couldn't help but break the silence: "What do they mean by waiting for notice?" β
"Waiting for notification?" Elliot paused, looked at Charles deeply, and said, "Maybe they are hesitant about your verdict, maybe they have found something higher in your verdict that they can't do, maybe...... Who knows. β
Having said that, Charles felt that he might know something, but the two didn't know each other, and he didn't want to ask much.
But he couldn't ask much more about it, but the other seemed to be of little importance, so he asked, "What's the use of the keel?" β
"Keel?"
"It's the pile of bones you found at my house this morning." Charles replied. Suddenly, I found that this guy didn't know what it was.
"Keel...... I thought it was the bones of some kind of monster cub. Elliot glanced at Charles in surprise, thought for a moment, and replied, "That bone is made of special material, and it can be used to refine stigmata, a very valuable bunch of things." β
"Stigmata? What is it? β
"It's a special weapon that you'll only use after stepping into the ring, and it's not going to be useful to you."
"What is a ring?"
"Beyond the mundane."
"After learning to cast spells?"
"No, learning to cast spells is just a beginner." Speaking of this, Eliot glanced at Charles meaningfully: "Since the church's verdict on you has not been issued immediately, then the probability of your innocence is very high, and in the meantime, I hope you will not make mistakes." β
"You mean practicing black magic?" Because of his sensitivity, Charles naturally began to take a seat.
"Including but not limited to cultivating or attempting to practice black magic, committing crimes, insulting the church, escaping, etc."
Elliot replied.
He seems to be a very proud young man, but strangely enough, he always has questions and does not beat around the bush.
Charles felt that if this guy could put on a smiling face, with that handsome outfit, he would definitely be more attractive to the opposite sex.
"Gao Leng has no future, and many people don't understand this." The thought flashed through him, and Charles nodded silently.
As the two spoke, they had unconsciously walked out of the church, and as he had imagined, Eliot did not follow Charles back to his residence on Privet Street.
He simply "escorted" Charles out of the church and then turned back.
He didn't say anything during this time, but it seemed that he had already said what he should have said.
Don't make a fool of yourself......
The words flashed through his mind, and Charles thought thoughtfully.
He wouldn't have done anything to run away or insult the church, the latter of which was just a quick tongue and nothing good.
As for the former, although he didn't see anyone spying on him, Charles didn't think he was a free man now.
"So, just waiting?"
The jolting of the carriage did not interrupt Charles's thoughts, and he began to reflect on the interrogation that had lasted only half an hour. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my answer was foolproof β except for the last one.
Will it turn out as you imagined? Although there was great hope, he was not entirely sure.
However, compared to the previous apprehension, the current situation is still much better. It's just that when he returned to the house, the good mood that had come out of him disappeared again.
Looking at the little girl Anne standing on the bench in the kitchen, struggling to wash the dishes, Charles suddenly realized that he had forgotten about the little one.
And obviously, without the old housekeeper, the breakfast or something seems to be made by the girl herself.
Sighing, Charles felt that his guardian was really incompetent, so when he returned to the bedroom, he began to think.
"I have to hire a cook, no, not just a cook, but also a maid who cleans, and I also have to buy a maid for trivial things, and besides, I don't have the time and extra mind to manage such chores, so a housekeeper is essential......"
"The necessary premise for this is money." Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at the pile of bones in the bedroom.
Since Eliot of the church said that these things are worth a lot of money, they must be able to get a lot of money, right?
But who should I go to?
The Charles didn't have that way; Under normal circumstances, ordinary people do not have access to these supernatural beings - except for churches.
"Maybe next time I see him, I should ask?"
This thought was put aside for the time being, and Charles, who had escaped for the time being, began to think about it again after sorting out the trivial things of life.
He began to sit down at his desk, picking up a pen and paper and sketching on the paper.
"At present, I am facing a small coastal city in a certain country in a magical continent somewhere in a strange world."
"And "I" is from a noble background, and I am the heir to the baronial title, but this status does not seem to help me in the slightest, except for bringing me the disaster of killing. β
"The most important thing in the situation I am facing at the moment is the verdict of the church, and if I have survived everything, it is easy to say, if I can't get through, I can resist as much as possible, or run away or something, but before the verdict is out, I must be stable."
Because if this one is not careful, he will be the enemy of a world-class behemoth, and this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
He didn't want to do that unless he had to.
"Beyond that, it's about figuring out why "my" father would want to kill me. Thinking about it, Xia Erfu ticked this passage out again.
"It's not important to figure it out, it's important to avoid possible targets in the future, and then find a way to completely solve this hidden danger!"
And after that?
The barony that belongs to him must be inherited as soon as possible, otherwise he will always be dragged on, and a cat or dog can come to the door to bully him.
Thinking about the group of cops last night, he thought of another question.
"There's a good chance they're part of the plot against me, or someone behind them, and that's where I should start."
After writing it down on paper, he began to think about another more important issueβthe shuttle door.
Although he didn't feel the existence of the thing at all, Charles vaguely felt that it was not completely gone, and he felt that it would definitely reappear in front of him, and it would not be long.
"And since that thing can travel through the world, does it mean that it is the main reason why it has traveled here?"
"So, can I use him to find a way back to Earth?"
It was an exciting guess, but then Charles shook his head, holding the thought to himself.
"The world behind the door is not in sync with the time here, I can do a lot of things with this, and the other thing is that I have a special ability to fight monsters and upgrade there, maybe I can use this to grow quickly and have a certain amount of self-preservation."
The first real contemplation after the crossing made him quickly understand what he should do next.
So he finally wrote: "Survive the church's troubles, solve the financial crisis and living arrangements, deal with the succession of knighthoods, and investigate the intrigues related to the notes." Then keep researching the shuttle door and use it to get stronger and eventually find your way home! β
After thinking about it, he added another paragraph:
"Improving relations with girls...... and her illness. β
After writing and taking a closer look, Charles threw the planner into the fireplace.
His eyes were quietly staring at the burning ash fragments, and his original nervousness somewhat stabilized.
